"Brother Huang!" Li Yuanba took a sip of strong tea, and then said:

"At present, Dengzhou Shipyard has completed the production of ten medium-sized steam warships suitable for ocean-going operations, and if you use steam warships to go to Dashi by water, it will take a month at most!"

"How many people can a medium-sized steam battleship carry?" Li Shimin asked.

"Well, if you do the math, there are about fifteen hundred heavily armed soldiers, and any more will reduce the speed of the steam warship!" Li Yuanba silently calculated in his heart and replied to Li Shimin a number.

"Wouldn't that be ten ships enough to carry fifteen thousand people?" Li Shimin shook his head and said, "No, no!" There are only 15,000 people, even if they go to the big food, won't it be useless? ”

"Not necessarily!" Li Yuan said domineeringly: "Brother Huang, when I said that I am fully armed, don't those firearms, bullets, shells or something have weight?" ”

"But ......" Li Shimin was still skeptical, "Da Shi is not a small tribe such as Tubo and Xue Yantuo, but an empire that is no different from our Tang Dynasty!" If you want to destroy the Great Food with just 15,000 people? ”

When he said this, Li Shimin shook his head incredulously and said, "Yuanba, are you sure you're not crazy?" ”

"Brother Huang, you still underestimate the power of our firearms!"

Li Yuanba laughed and said, "Just the heavy mortar developed by the Shenji Mansion first, if the shells brought are enough, it is far away seven or eight kilometers away, and only a few can be fired to level the imperial city of his big food!" ”

"Shhh...... Is it so powerful? Li Shimin still couldn't believe it.

"Brother Huang, my brother doesn't have the time to lie to you!"

Li Yuanba shrugged his shoulders and said, "Regardless of whether it is the Divine Machine Mansion located in Chang'an, or the Artifact Bureau on an overseas island, the research and development of all kinds of heavy firearms is like crazy!" At least that's the case with the Bureau's heavy mortars, and their power is what the younger brother has seen. ”

"So, when we get back to the palace. You just go and talk to Wuji and them to see if you can come up with a foolproof strategy to avoid any more mistakes! Seeing the serious expression on Li Yuanba's face, Li Shimin believed him.

However, he also made up his mind, and when he returned to the palace, he would go to the Shenji Mansion, so that he had to see the power of this heavy mortar, lest Li Yuanba laugh at the power of his own things and not know the power.

……

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Great Food Sith asks to see you!"

After the two brothers Li Shimin finished chatting about business, Liu Sanshui, who seemed to have been guarding outside the door for a long time, walked in and reported to Li Shimin in a low voice.

"Yes. The main master is here, this time, let's see what the main master says! Li Yuanba stretched his waist and said, "Sanshui, I have asked the imperial brother, it is estimated that the guys outside have waited enough, so let's go and announce him in!" ”

"The second prince of the big food, the fourth Sith, I have seen ......" The Sith came in and was still the same, so he almost lay down in front of Li Shimin and licked his toes.

"O Prince of the Sith. Today's incident is unexpected, but after all, this matter is in the realm of the Tang Dynasty, and I have some responsibility, so I ask Prince Sith to bear it more! ”

Li Shimin rarely lowered his figure. He said with an apologetic smile on his face.

Where is there such a big score in the Sith, listening to Li Shimin's words, the first thought in my heart is that it is wrong, so let's hurry up and find the way:

"Your Majesty is so polite. How can you blame Your Majesty, they are all the scum of my Arab Empire. If they return to the imperial capital this time, Xiao Wang will definitely not let them have a good time! ”

Speaking of the later time. This guy is gritting his teeth a little, as if there are really a lot of scum who are against them in the Great Food Court.

In fact, Li Shimin mentioned it so casually, since you said it with such a look, then I reluctantly accepted it.

"Oh, let's talk about going back later, let's get down to business now!" Li Yuanba's eyes rolled and interrupted the Sith who still wanted to speak.

The Sith thought that Li Yuanba was going to talk about the sale of firearms, so he retreated to the seat on the side and sat up.

"Come on, the cooks should be almost ready, let them bring the roasted hares and roe deer, this is the right thing, this king has been hungry for a long time!"

How do you know that Li Yuanba didn't say a word about firearms, but he had a soft spot for those prey.

The mood that the Sith had been expecting suddenly fell to the bottom, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

But there is no way, people don't mention it, he can't put down his body by himself, and beg people to sell him firearms in vain.

The dreary dinner began, and the only sound in the entire tent was the sound of silver knives cutting the flesh of beasts.

……

"Hahaha, this time we are sure to win, the Fourth Emperor Uncle is just one person, he can't shoot down dozens of prey by himself, right?" Adjacent to the big tent, Li Yuanba heard Li Su's loud voice from afar.

"Hehe, this time I also hit two hares and a little roe deer!" Li Zhi followed closely behind Li Chengqian, and he was still carrying a fat rabbit in his hand, which was not dead yet, and he was still kicking his calves and trying to run.

"I see, this time we will lose eighty percent!" Li Tai, who has always been unpopular, trembled vigorously with his chubby body, and his mouth was still snoring and panting.

"I said, fourth brother, don't be so ambitious to destroy your own prestige!" Hearing that Li Tai was so unconfident, Li Zhen didn't do it, and said directly: "Fourth brother, it's rare for you to play with us once, but you must have the confidence to win!" ”

"Alright, I got it!" Li Tai is still not used to talking to these brothers who he didn't even look at before, "Anyway, if we win, it's our luck, if we lose, let's figure out how to let the Fourth Emperor Uncle bully!" ”

"Pheasant, you, you're just too unconfident!" Li Chengqian squinted at his brother and said, "Okay, it's also time to go to the big tent, eighty percent, the fourth emperor uncle has also come back early!" ”

While saying this, Li Chengqian and his brother had already arrived in front of the big tent.

"Huh? What a fragrant smell! ”

As soon as he stepped into the big tent, before he could think about Li Shimin and their salutes, Li Su smelled a strong smell of barbecue.

"Hahaha, you're finally back!" Seeing that Li Chengqian and the others had just walked in, Li Yuanba suddenly laughed, "Fourth uncle, I'm almost full!" ”

"Huh? You've already eaten it? Li Su looked at the roasted roe deer in the middle of the big tent, and the roast chicken in front of each person's table, and suddenly screamed.

Li Yuanba pinched a chicken leg in his hand, squinted at Li Chengqian and said, "How is it, how is the harvest?" (To be continued.) )
